A writer in an exchange makes the
following points on the chinch-bug
question:
l. That it is useless to attempt to
raise spring wheat or barley where
chinch bugs have been present in any
considerable numbers the preceding
year, unless we have rea son to believe
that they have been killed off by heavy
rains.
2. That in case the season should be
favorable to the propagation of the
chinch bug, we always have it in our
power to get rid Of these pests by the
abandonment Of these two kinds of
grains for one or two years. But to
make this course effective there must
be concert Of action by farmers over
considerable section OF country.
). That the presence of chinch bugs
the preceding year will not revent the
raising OF corn or any of the winter
grains.
4. With regard to oats the testimony
thus lar is that if this grain be sown
where the chinch bugs abound, and
especially if it is sown exclusively, it
Will be damaged to greater or less ex-
tent the first year, but that the bugs
probably will not continue to breed in
1t to any great extent i'll the succeeding
years,
